I would like to become a Noble Republic, but I can't as I am the sernior partner in a PU with Tunisia. How do I ditch 'em, so that I can change governments?

AFAIK, there is not a way other than when your current ruler dies and they get annexed / dropped out of PU.
You can force Integrate after having the PU for 50 years. It's similar to Diplomatically Annexing a vassal. You get 1 infamy per province, so if Tunisia is large, you could go over the limit.
I believe being excommunicated will end your PU upon the death of your monarch. I also understand that being Papal Controller permits you to break a marriage without penalty... Not sure if it gives any privileges to breaking PU's though.
If I just insult relations down to 0, and cancel the alliance, will the PU self-terminate upon the death of my monarch?
Below zero, to be more exact. And you must be careful that they don't ever reach + again as they do regenerate quite quickly.
Also if your army is smaller they will do the insulting if you're not at war.

Couldn't you also insult down to negative prestige if you want to keep relations with that nation good?
You can't insult prestige. And anyway who cares about relations, it's still better to have positive prestige.
Yeah, forgot abot that. If your prestige drops below 0 you lose PU-s, but insulting is not the most efficient way to do that because it drops only by one per insult AFAIK. Prestige goes down by losing wars, but that hurts your legitimacy as well if you're the agresor.
If you fund pretender rebels and they take over the country, they will break from the union.
So if you are in a hurry, start a war against a bigger neighbour to Tunisia and when they are completely overrun and without an army, sue for peace and sponsor pretender rebels in their capital.
